The Sony C-37 FET is an overall great microphone. For those who have used the C-37P and not the FET version, this is definitely in the same ballpark and is a mic that has similar applications as the non-FET version. I've used this FET version for recording vocals and strangely enough the only other application was for recording a floor tom. F...
The Sony SDM-HS95P is an older LCD computer monitor. Of course like all monitors it can be used for purposes outside of recording music, but the only capacity which I've used the monitor in has been for a DAW set up. I don't own the monitor myself but my room mate has it as one of his two monitors in his home studio and I tend to work in there...
These sony MDR 7502 headphones are very nice, they are very light weight and are pretty comfy. I think that they are pretty good value for money but for what they are I would like to pay a little less in my opinion. I have had a lot of headphones in the past and these do not stand out as the best ones that I have owned. I would say t...
The Sony MU R201 is rare, but it's one of the first of it's kind, and a great place to start at this. This is definitely better than a lot of rack mountable digital reverbs being put out today and definitely has a lot more than just a nostalgic factor. It's probably going to be pretty hard to find one of these, but I'm sure they are around fro...
This is a studio headphone made by Sony. I like some pairs of their headphones but I've often found that their main drawback is that they break too easily. That is thankfully not the case with these, as they are built very well. They are primarily marketed as studio monitoring headphones, or live monitoring headphones for live sound engineers. H...
There aren't too many Sony C-500's out there, as it seems to be a pretty rare microphone. For those who have used it however, it's definitely considered a high quality mic and for a variety of purposes in the recording studio. I don't know exactly when these microphones were made, but I believe first in the late 1960's and into the early 1970'...
I love the warmth and tone of this microphone. I assume that the tube based technology is the primary reason for its phenomenal sound. The microphone has aged really well, too, as it tends to give a sound and response that really doesn't come around so much any more. I really enjoyed using it on a guitar amp, as it provided a round, fat to...
These are a pair of noise-canceling headphones from Sony. With the power of one AAA battery, they can cancel ambient noise. The way they do this is with a tiny microphone on the outside of the headphones, which records the sounds that are heard, and then plays them back at a 180 degree angle, which effectively cancels the noise out due to phasin...
Sony’s MDR-7506 are a set of professional level recording studio headphones. Sony has a ton of different headphones to choose from on all levels, and the MDR series of headphones are probably their most popular. The MDR-7506’s in particular are a great set of headphones. They’ve got large diaphragm speakers and are great for variety of applic...
The Sony MDR-V700DJ's are a set of headphones that are designed and marketed as headphones for DJ's, but they're definitely suitable for a variety of purposes. I've used the MDR-V700DJ's for checking and monitoring tracks during tracking and mixing. We've got a pair of these at the studio where I'm working, and while they aren't regarded as th...
